    Delicious coppery tones ranging from buff to pumpkin to rust, all present at the same time gives this plant a great tri-color look! Really sets off purples and blues in the garden, blooms all summer and well into fall…2 ½ - 3' tall and 2-3' wide – Full sun – lean, sandy soils are best (too much fertilizer makes stems floppy) dry out between waterings. Great cut, fresh or dried in arrangements.  USDA Zone 4  4" pot

    Flowers emerge a rich terra cotta orange and fade to yellow.

    Flowers of a unique, mid to pale terra-cotta colour. The leaves and stems are a soft grey-green. Floriferous and quick growing this is among the best Achillea cultivars we have seen yet and one of only a handful of terra-cotta coloured flowers. Now superseded by A. 'Walther Funcke', which is of stronger colour, is stronger stemmed and flowers en masse rather than in dribs and drabs over time.

    This hybrid yarrow has terra cotta colored flowers. Get for fresh cut flowers, and dried flower sprays will hold their color.
